Coconut Flour Biscuits

Coconut Flour Biscuits

 

1 ¼ C. Organic All Purpose Flour

½ C. Organic Coconut Flour

1 Heaping t. Baking Powder

1 t. Organic Sugar

1 t. Sea Salt

Generous 1/3 C. Organic Palm Shortening or Organic Butter

1 C. Raw Milk

Sift together the flours, baking powder, sugar and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the shortening/butter and cut into the flour mixture. Using two knives has always been easiest for me. This should only take a minute or two.

Add milk all at once and stir to moisten. Dough will be quite wet.

Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead several times. Fold dough in half once.  Pat folded dough into a circle about ½” or so thick. (I used a rolling pin.) Cut the biscuits with a biscuit cutter or a glass. (I used a glass the size I wanted the biscuits to be.) Place on a baking stone with just a little space in between the biscuits. Mine rose quite a bit when they cooked. I probably could have rolled them out a bit thinner in the beginning.

Bake at 425˚ for 10-15 minutes or until tops are slightly browned. Serve with raw honey, yum!!!

***These were soooo gooooood! I’ve tried many other flour combinations and none work like the white flour. Sorry. If you want “biscuits” you’ll most likely need to use white flour. If anyone has a better way, I’m all ears. Try to make sure that it’s at least organic. It’s okay to cheat once in a while, as long as it’s not every time. We do what we can with what we know and what we have.

Happy Baking!
